Chapter 242
The man was stunned: "Why am I blocking their way to wealth?" You, you, you are less bloody! ”
Xiaohu spread his hands: "Do you know why I hired Lao Ma and their family to cook?" ”
Everyone even pricked up their ears to listen with Lao Ma's daughter-in-law and parents, and Xiaohu smiled and said: "One, I heard that Lao Ma has a good reputation. This person is very honest and reliable, do you think that these 100 people eat less every day? Every day you steal three buckets of rice, I can't find out. But it is precisely because Lao Ma has a good reputation and Lao Ma's whole family is upright, so I trust them. You see, people remember how many buckets of rice they used and how many dishes they ate every day. ”
Lao Ma's daughter-in-law was praised for the first time, and she was very excited and proud in her heart. Xiaohu said again: "Second, I know that if you don't have land, you won't have a livelihood. That's why I came up with such a way to let you make money, and if I go to the countryside to hire people, wouldn't it be cheaper than your wages? It's good that you don't do it for me everywhere in front of the villagers. Whose wages am I not paying? ”
Someone immediately understood, and opened his mouth to complain: "That's what I said, if you hadn't stopped me at the beginning, the three boys in our family would have been able to make money." ”
Xiaohu echoed again: "Isn't it just to make money? You don't make money as an apprentice to other people, and you have to suffer from the master's idleness all day long, right? You can make money and learn a craft with me, and you must know what I do. I have all craftsmen in my hands, and some of the work I can't finish it. With these craftsmen, are you still afraid that you will not make any money? ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and Xiaohu saw that these people were loosened by what he said. He lamented again: "It's a pity that the lack of people has been filled by outsiders, and now there is no need for manpower." ”
As soon as he heard this, someone immediately complained about Huoyazi, and Huoyazi was indignant and quibbled: "What does it have to do with me, I didn't force you not to go with a kitchen knife." ”
Xiaohu left safely, and before leaving, he encouraged his momentum. The project in this place will take at least a year to work, because it is winter, although the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north. But because of the humidity, it can't be completed in a few months, at least a few months.
Without land, houses become dispensable. Xiaohu found people who worked under him, and analyzed them with reason and emotion.
Do you see the house built on the back? Though not necessarily bigger than what you live now. But this is a new house and a lot brighter. I can trade with you. You live here, and I have a deed for you. Although you don't have land, at least you can work with me." Seeing that these people were a little loose, Xiaohu was worried that they were thinking too much.
"Of course, it doesn't mean that if you don't change houses, I won't use you. It's not that as long as you change, you can work with me. Changing houses and working are two different things, and I won't use you if you don't do things seriously. "I understand that. It's just that I don't know why the owner has gone to great lengths to give himself benefits.
Everyone is hairy and scared. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xiaohu couldn't help laughing and said: "There is a reason for this, this place is separated by your families." Oh, you still want to live in my big house, can't you? You all live here, but it's just a different place. ”
Externally, Xiaohu is in the name of building a private house, and does not want to disclose the reputation of the store for the time being.
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood. What's not to want to do, it's to trade the old house for a new one. Fools don't do it, and the owner doesn't have anything to say.
These families packed up their things and moved together, first come, first served. After walking a few houses, the rest began to get sick. went to Huoyazi's house all day long to make a noise, not to say that he stirred up everyone who was restless.
"Of course you don't want to move away, your family has a lot of land and wants to earn more money. We're different. We are a family of four or five. There is a place to stay. "Someone is starting to understand.
"That's right, if your family moves, it's going to be divided. Three-room people together. That little bit of silver won't be enough at that time. ”
"That's right, I wonder we have to sell it. It's because I'm afraid that a person won't get benefits, it's really black-hearted. ”
"I knew that I would follow the old horse, hey, what a mistake."
Isn't it sad to be open-minded? He regrets it now more than anyone else, seeing that the family is gone, how did he make a fuss before? Now the brothers blame themselves, the daughters-in-law make trouble for themselves, and even their parents scold themselves.
If you want to find a way for your children to follow you to the construction site, people obviously don't want you, a person who chews the root of the tongue.
If you want to change to a big house, it's basically the same as nothing, and you don't even look at yourself.
Huoyazi's younger brother and sister are shrewd and capable women, and secretly went to the head of Xiaohu's construction site, saying that they wanted to repent and reform themselves, and said that it was their uncle's idea not to do their own home.
Xiaohu also knows that this time is the best time to win people's hearts and find loyal servants. It is implied that the head of the house said a few words, and after the woman went back, it was a fussy and parted up.
After they parted, when the family still didn't know where they could go with their two children. The woman took her man and her children and moved into the new house.
A small courtyard for a family of four, with two and a half rooms on the left and right with a wing room behind it. Although the area looks narrow and you can't raise chickens and vegetables, at least you have your own place. It is much better than the previous family of four crammed into a room, and the daughter-in-law was humming a little song and washing clothes, so uncomfortable.
This family's surname is Zhai, Zhai Da is a tooth-opener, Zhai Er's legs and feet are a little disabled, and Zhai San'er is an idle person who has no ability.
The one who quickly separated and moved into the new house was Zhai Er's daughter-in-law, who had two children, a daughter who had just turned ten years old and a son who was only eight years old. Lao Tzu is a person with bad legs and feet, and he has been like this all his life. My son is still young, if there is a place to learn a craft, at least he won't starve to death.
Therefore, Zhai's second daughter-in-law decided that she couldn't delay it, and begged the foreman to let her son do carpenter work even if he didn't give him food or wages. The foreman was instructed by Xiaohu, and of course agreed.
Zhai's second daughter-in-law also said that she can wash and wash, and men can also do some light work. Xiaohu didn't want to hurt the people and lose their lives because of his own reasons.
It just so happened that Dong Xiaoman wanted to match Huanhuan with some people to serve, and she had her own fixed mother-in-law and girl. Now start training Huanhuan to employ people and housekeepers, in case of future emergencies.
Xiaohu pushed the boat down the river to introduce her daughter to the past as a rough maid, and let Zhai Er be a coachman, going back and forth to the city every day to transport work to the construction site.
In this way, the daughter has a future, and the son has a direction. Men have income, and it is much easier for them to sew and mend and wash at home. Zhai's second daughter-in-law can still follow her into the city every day and sell three or two hand-woven flower baskets to make money.
Zhai Er, the most unproductive and useless family in the family, has changed so much. In the eyes of the idle Zhai San, it was terrible.
Let his daughter-in-law learn from his second sister-in-law, live in a yard with his own family, and find an errand to do. Zhai Eryi thought that his second brother drove a carriage every day and didn't need to do anything, and the money came in in a hurry, and his heart itched very much.
This Zhai family Xiaohu has also made people inquire and understand, and people with open teeth are not bad, but they think too much about everything. The reason why I want to take advantage is for the sake of the whole family, who knows that now the second child is divided, the third child is troublesome, the family is not a family, and I am depressed.
In the end, Huoyazi went to find Xiaohu in person, with a face full of apology and remorse: "I am blinded by lard, you don't remember the villain, go around the little one." ”
Xiaohu said a few words and agreed to move with the Huyazi family. However, because I inquired about the family's personality in advance, I didn't provide any work.
Huoyazi continued to do odd jobs, Zhai San continued to be idle, and the second elder of the Zhai family found a place where Xiaohu had no rights to cultivate vegetables and grain to subsidize the family.
Zhu'er disagreed with Xiaohu's approach: "People have great desires, and you gave so much oil this time." Next time, I may not make any excessive requests, and if you don't have the ability, you don't have to worry about whether you can live. God can't starve the little house sparrow, and it's troublesome to manage too much, isn't it? ”
Xiaohu patted Zhu'er on the shoulder: "People are different, some people I give a scoop of water will repay me with a river." ”
Zhu'er knew that it was useless to say more, so she smiled curtly: "I know that I am just giving you a wake-up call." If you want to repay your grievances with virtue, you are afraid that someone is a wolf and you are Dongguo. ”
Dong Xiaoman stood at the door and listened to a few words, but he really didn't want to listen to it. He walked in with a smile and said, "What are you two talking about being so lively?" ”
Zhu'er stopped, Xiaohu turned around and saw that it was Dong Xiaoman and smiled: "Just tell me about the things on my construction site." ”
Dong Xiaoman handed the shoes to Xiaohu: "I made a few pairs of cotton shoes for Jue'er, and I made two pairs for you by the way." Look, is it still what you want? ”
Xiaohu took it and pursed his lips and smiled: "Now I want you to make shoes for me again." ”
Zhu'er blurted out: "You still need winter clothes, I'll make them for you!" ”
Seeing Dong Xiaoman looking at himself, he felt that what he said was a bit excessive. Hurriedly smiled awkwardly: "I mean, uh, I'm very idle......"
Dong Xiaoman said coldly: "Aren't you busy in the shop?" ”
Xiaohu touched his head and said in a low voice: "You don't need to do it, I brought two pieces when I came." ”
Dong Xiaoman looked at Zhu'er with his eyes and asked Xiaohu: "But your new daughter-in-law made it for you?" ”
Xiaohu sighed and said, "Well, listen to me and don't take her away." I didn't come out of the house after being locked up in the house for a day and a night, and I thought I was going to make trouble, but I ended up making two sets of clothes. ”
Dong Xiaoman saw that Zhu'er's face was unhappy, and deliberately praised: "I have been in contact with chrysanthemums, but she is a good person." I didn't expect needlework to be so powerful, so I can see that I have a lot of heart for you. ”
Obviously, I saw Zhu'er stiffening, and muttered at the corner of her clothes: "I don't have any skills, if I can't even pick up a needle and thread, what else can I do?" (To be continued.) )
